Fun Workouts
| Wed, 08-31-2005 - 11:27am |
Since we always talk about how you have to find what's fun for you--if you had unlimited time and resources to devote to working out AND it didn't matter what you have to do (like you don't have to weight train or hop on the elliptical or do yoga), so it was all strictly for fun, what would you do?
I would do DCAC type workouts.

Strictly for fun and no other constraints?
Jean,
i would take step and bosu classes from really fabulous instructors. i'd continue taking yoga and i'd resume taking pilates. i'd skateboard in my own private skatepark, swim in my own olympic sized pool,
it doesn't hurt to fall in skateboarding, and you really don't fall often. most of the time if you lost your balance you just hop off the board like you do when you lose balance on a BOSU. it only hurts if you try to do difficult "tricks" like when i was trying to drop in on the ramp. that's the only time i've ever hurt myself skateboarding and it wasn't something i really should have been doing at my skill level anyway. if you aren't afraid of ice skatiing, you shouldn't be afraid of skateboarding - the ice is at least as hard as the pavement.
a wakeboard looks something like a snowboard and they ride behind a specially designed motorboat (to make a bigger wake) on a tow rope like waterskiers use. they do tricks off the wake. it's awesome, the people who are good do all kinds of flips where they are flung high into the air like a crazy tetherball. i know there is a lake near charlotte where wakeboarding is big, but i don't know the name. you should check it out -
